I'm just wondering if notification lights are supposed to turn off after I wake up my phone. I'm currently using Cyanogenmod 10 Nov 4th build.
For example, when I get a text message, my notification light turns on and starts blinking purple (that's my setting I put)
When I turn on my phone, the light disappears. But if don't check my notification and lock my phone again, the notification light doesn't appear.
I was just wondering if this is supposed to happen as if I remember correctly from the stock Samsung Touchwiz ROM, the notification light would stay on until I check the notification and clear it from the tray.
If it's supposed to be like that, is there a way to change it so be more like Samsung's way of dealing with notifications.
Thank you so much in advance!

I was recently going through the phone's settings menu, and in sound and display there is a section called pulse notification light which according to the description, pulses LED light repeatedly for new notifications. I have this checked to do this, but I have never seen the LED pulse for any notifications, whether it be incoming calls, sms, or email. I have checked and unchecked it, rebooted the phone, but to no avail I see no pulse notification.
Am I missing something here?
My phone is totally stock for the OS, and applications.
The notification LED light only blinks if the screen is off and if the notification LED light setting is enabled within their respective applications.
The screen is off, and I don't see any setting within the default messaging app, or the gmail app that says anything about LED notifications. I don't think that is very smart for a smartphone. I hate the phone vibrating while sitting on my desk, I would rather have the LED flashing to notify me of new messages, and/or email.
I'm sorry, there is no LED notification in the settings, bad memory LOL. The LED should work as long as Notifications is checked, although it may be defective, like blinking 5 times when you first receive an email or message, and then blinks sporadically afterwards. A fix is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11292197&postcount=4
It could very well be the case that your LED light is not working and you should go to a repair center to get it checked out.
I haven't seen my LED light work once yet. I've had the phone since Thursday (VZW LTE) and don't even know what the LED looks like. I'm guessing its right next to the ear piece? As I said I'm still stock unrooted, but I do use Dialer One and Handcent. I'm guessing Handcent has a bug with ICS and/or the Galaxy Nexus? I go into notification settings, the LED option is checked, but when I select "Test Notification" Handcent FC/stops responding. Also when I get a new email (gmail), I don't get any kind of LED notification...Any suggestions?
It's at the bottom of the front of the phone. About 1/4" from the bottom of the phone. I've only seen it light up on new text messages though. I hear Light Flow works to customize the LED.
Go to settings > display. Is pulse notification light checked?
I also use light flow, and i was never a fan of notification lights before, but its got enough customization that i can make it act how i want it to....and things like that is why i switched to android from that other phone in the first place
When I first got mine, I thought it was broken too. I seems the default settings don't use the notification nearly as much as some other phones. I recommend getting light flow and setting up the notification light that way.
Yeah I think it was a combination of not realizing exactly where to look and it not being used as often as I would have thought. After installing Lightflow I see it now, thanks. It's actually really sick looking.
Light flow is awesome, I wish I had found this app a long time ago. I assume that you're supposed to disable notification inside the individual apps and just do it all through light flow?
Also, it doesn't seem to allow me to change colors? (I change the color setting but the light is always white-ish).
I am using Light Flow but have been seeing a yellow notification light and there is nothing that it is notifying. I am not positive, but I think I saw the same color notification before loading Light Flow.
I can not figure out what this is notifying me of and in Light Flow I don't have anything notify me in yellow.
Anyone know what's going on with the light?
I have the same issue as well. Even after I uninstalled light flow it remains.
You need to go into whatever is set for yellow, and find the setting that removes notifications. I had yellow set for google talk, but the notification light would go off until I physically opened the app, even if the notification was removed from the status bar. You can set it so that the notification light disappears upon turning on the screen.

Yea, I uninstalled the app, when I did have it I did use the setting you mentioned but it didn't help.
It would be nice for Google to build in something like Light flow into the system Nativity that wouldn't be so buggy.
For some reason my friends SGS3 from T-Mobile keeps a green LED Notification on when the setting is checked on the events LED Notification. He does not have anything open at all and nothing is in the notification bar.
This is a strange occurring as it also causes any other LED selected in the APP as lightflow to be a different color. Like if I put purple, it will be yellowish.
This doesn't happen when I uncheck the events LED Notification but I keep the other ones open. So charging the light is still red when charging.
What can be causing the events LED notification to be staying on if all events are cleared, etc. Is there just something open that I can't see? This happens even with lightflow disabled. Did anyone else have this problem?

it is a known issue with the current version of lightflow...you need to uninstall it completely and the problem goes away...
Anybody else seeing this issue?
Noticed it mostly with whatsapp, after receiving a message and opening the app to automatically clear the notification status, the Notification LED would still blink when screen is off.
I think I have to open the notification drop down (even though it's empty) to clear the LED flashing.
Try Light Flow. Been using it without any issues for a while now.
Is there another way of fixing the notification LED except of installing the Light Flow app? I dislike the thought auf having to install additional software for such a very basic task.
I had a huge thread on it. There are ways to clear it. Easiest is turn off the screen by double tapping the status bar. It also eventually goes away.
